Isoprenaline, histamine and PGE1 inhibit N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine evoked lysosomal enzyme release from human neutrophils. Their effects are dose-dependent and potentiated by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine pretreatment of the cells. The order of activity is PGE1 greater than isoprenaline greater than histamine. The maximum of inhibition afforded by each agonist depends on the amount of the secretory stimulus, since it is higher at lower concentrations of the secretagogue. Isoprenaline effects are competitively antagonized by propranolol and are mimicked by fenoterol and salbutamol. These results suggest that human neutrophil functions are modulated by endogenous control mechanisms, that can also be activated by drugs acting on the same receptors as the endogenous mediators.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin.

D009240 N-Formylmethionine Leucyl-Phenylalanine A formylated tripeptide originally isolated from bacterial filtrates that is positively chemotactic to polymorphonuclear leucocytes, and causes them to release lysosomal enzymes and become metabolically activated.
